I would just do traditional server side validation in SimpleFormController's onBindAndValidate which has the logic of vehicle - > attribute lookup and validation.

Hi, i'm working on a project, where attributes and entities are stored in different tables. The reason therefore is, that attributes depend on the type of an entity. e.g. For a lorry you may need an attribute "load_in_kg", for a cabriolet this isn't very important, instead you need the attribute "fun_factor". Such as this: table "vehicle" ID name vehicle_type_id -------------------------------------------------- 1 volvo g38 5 2 mercedes slk 6 3 dodge viper 7 table "vehicle_type" ID name -------------------- 5 lorry 6 cabriolet 7 hellraiser table "vehicle_attributes" ID name vehicle_type_id required --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 load_in_kg 5 yes 2 fun_factor 6 yes 3 horsepower 6 no 4 acceleration 7 yes My idea for validating the attributes dependent on the vehicle_type is to read the attributes at runtime and generate a String which looks like "validation.xml". Now i want to validate the form submission with this XML-String. Is there a possibility to do this in the SimpleFormController or has anyone a better approach to come along with this problem?
